180-m canopy at airport, but no solution for waterlogging

Pune: Even after the a 180-metre canopy was installed at the international airport in the city, the Rs 5 crore investment has not helped protect passengers from heavy showers.
mid-day observed that passengers arriving and departing from the airport still had to walk through water that was collected due to lack of any outlet for it.

Moreover, the false ceiling above the flight information board has sprouted leaks, and the electronic board has now been covered with a plastic sheet for over a week.

Passengers arriving to the city allege that while the Airport Authority of India (AAI) spent crores of rupees to set up a canopy, ignoring important details like taking care of leaks has washed these efforts down the drain.
